    I made the weights myself, melted down pellets in a CO2 caplet with the top cut off.
    That is a brilliant idea, I will try that.

    I first filled it with pellets, then hammered them down, put a few more in, then hammered that down. Then when I heated it held in a vice, added a few more pellets by hand as the pellets melted and the level dropped.
    Good deals with these members

    Anything involving melting or smelting metals = Awesome.

    I know, I had a couple of LEM moulds in the old days, even though the pellets were rubbish, it was such fun melting the lead and casting them.

    I made up a batch of the .22 'spitzers' for a bloke who wanted them to reload into his .22 Hornet centrefire, but I never got a report on how they did ... probably just for plinking.

    My first experience with a synthetic stock was awful, it was a FX Cyclone but had developed the common crack just above the trigger. This put me off the synthetic options for quite some time. I later had a CZ synthetic which although was flexible, was as tough as hell.
    I suppose it's down to materials used?

    I currently have one on my FX Streamline which feels tough and gives me security in the "less chance to ding and scratch" department but we'll have to see how it goes... if a nice wood stock comes up for sale I will buy it though, nothing quite like the feel of wood on your cheek
